I’m A Collection of Every Sound I’ve Heard is a sonic journey of remembrance—an acknowledgment that we are a collection of every sound we've ever heard, including those that predate home (Haiti). Every ancestral echo, lost one, ceremony I've witnessed, and conversation that has manifested is woven into this work. It serves as a reminder that while time is relative, memory is not.
